The Beneo-scL85 functional ingredient is being launched by BENEO as a solution for manufacturers to help them reduce the amount of sugar in recipes and increase the amount of fiber to boot. The ingredient is a short-chain fructooligosaccharide (scFOS) that's reported to offer a sweet taste with good solubility and a natural format that's perfect for enhancing both the taste and texture of a product. The ingredient is great for bakery, cereal and dairy products, and adds in dietary fiber as it replaces added sugar to increase a recipe's nutritional profile.
Commercial MD for BENEO's Functional Fibers Eric Neven spoke on the Beneo-scL85 functional ingredient saying, "Short-chain fructooligosaccharide from beet sugar is a valuable addition to BENEO’s portfolio because it increases flexibility and availability for our customers. In combination with the increased production capacity of our chicory root fibre production plant in Chile, Beneo’s short-chain fructooligosaccharide will further secure supply to meet the high demand for solutions to reduce sugar."
